Schools Meeting the Criteria for Facilities Collaboration

The Ministry of Education introduced the Community Planning and Partnerships Guideline (CPP), March 2015,
in order to encourage school boards to reach out to community
organizations to share planning information on a regular basis,
particularly as it relates to the use of space in schools. This includes
sharing information about potential space in existing schools, future
school sites, and new builds. Annual CPP meetings hosted by the UCDSB
provide updates on school space for our
potential partners and identify which schools meet the criteria
to be potential facilities collaboration opportunities.

1. A utilization rate of less than sixty (60) per cent for the last two (2) years, Two hundred (200) or more unused pupil places.”

What organizations qualify for facility collaboration?

Before
entering into a facility partnership, there is a need to determine the
expectations for the partnering organization and how it aligns with the
UCDSB’s strategic direction. Partnerships must be appropriate for the
school setting and not compromise student achievement strategies. For
instance, organizations that provide competing education services such
as tutoring services, JK-12 private schools, private colleges, and
credit offering entities that are not government funded are not eligible
partners. Above all, the health and safety of students must be
protected.

School names and space
availability are provided at the UCDSB's annual CPP meetings.
